Can Game 7 be better between Spurs and Heat?

I normally don't root for NBA teams, but I have to admit, I wanted to see San Antonio win this championship against the Miami Heat.

And then something weird happened late in the third quarter of Game 6, I flip-flopped who I was rooting for.

How does that happen? How does one go into a game rooting for one team and then switch in mid-game?

Easy. I didn't want the series to end.

Game 6 of the Heat and Spurs was so good, I didn't want it to end. So, with Miami needing a victory in Game 6 to keep the series alive, I found myself rooting for the Heat.

As the Spurs built a double-digit lead in the third quarter, I'm tweeting, "Spurs smell blood," but I'm starting to pull for Miami.

I'm a traitor. I'm a fake. I'm in the middle of a nervous breakdown for no good reason. The team I was rooting for was winning, and now I want them to lose just so I can watch a Game 7.

I may not have been alone because the game drew 20.6 million viewers, second most for a Game 6.

I was never a LeBron James fan (even though I respect his incredible abilities), and when he bolted Cleveland for Miami to join up with Dwyane Wade three years ago, I really couldn't root for the guy.

In my eyes, he took the easy road out and crushed the hearts of fans in his home state. Who does that?

So I'm left rooting for the Spurs going into this NBA Final. Prior to Game 6, just about every analyst I heard said the Heat were going to punish the Spurs. They couldn't be stopped at home.

They couldn't?

So I went into Game 6 thinking the Spurs could pull off the upset. And they were doing it with a double-digit third quarter lead, until ... James woke up in the fourth quarter (despite Heat fans heading to the exits early), Miami forced overtime and won 103-100 to force a Game 7.

I felt for veteran forward Tim Duncan and the Spurs. Duncan must be one of the most underrated players in NBA history. Maybe a fifth championship will put him into the conversation of the all-time great players, but that's another story.

For selfish reasons, this part-time NBA fan got just what he was looking for, a Game 7 which is sure to have fireworks tonight.
